Know the DD51T Carry

DD51T is the four-wheel-drive Carry built from 1991 to 1999, and it is one of the most widely exported kei trucks of its era. The 657cc F6A sits beneath the cab floor and drives the rear axle, with a selectable front axle and, on many trucks, an extra-low crawler gear in the gearbox. Suzuki also supplied this generation to Mazda, which sold it as the Scrum.

The instrument reads 78,398 miles, roughly 126,200 km on its original kilometre scale. The Carry has been built continuously since 1961 and its engines were designed around sustained commercial use.

The practical side

The Carry formula has barely changed since 1961: cab pushed over the front axle, engine tucked beneath the floor, and every remaining millimetre of the statutory length given over to the bed. The result is the longest load deck in the class for the overall dimensions, on the best-supported running gear in the segment.

This sits in the cheapest band of the market. At this level a 1997 Suzuki Carry is competing with used garden machinery and utility vehicles on price while offering a cab, a heater and a licence plate, which is the argument most buyers at this end are making.
